The ratio of cars to trucks is 9 to 4 if there are 52 trucks, what is the number of cars?

Answer 1

Nathan Axel

Let's call the number of cars #C# and work by ratios

Then #9div4=Cdiv52# or #9/4=C/52#

We can cross-multiply:

#4xxC=9xx52->C=(9xx52)/4=117#

To find the number of cars, use the ratio of cars to trucks to determine how many groups of 9 trucks there are in 52 trucks. Then, multiply the number of groups by 9 to find the total number of cars.

Number of cars = (52 trucks / 4 trucks per group) * 9 cars per group Number of cars = (52 / 4) * 9 Number of cars = 13 * 9 Number of cars = 117.

There are 117 cars.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
